Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I've spent many years exploring coastlines, having days/weeks out on the water just enjoying being out there on both sailing and motor yachts, including the occasional ocean passage. My current boat is destined for a trip around the northern coastline of Australia, starting now in Geraldton. I'm searching for 2 or 3 people as crew/company to join me for some or all of this adventure.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

usually cleancomfortableluxuriousvery safevery spacioushave a holidayshare experiencevisit remote placesseek adventurelive off the grid

I’ve recently purchased my ninth boat in Fremantle Western Australia. For the last nine years my previous boat was located in California and the Baja Peninsula, Mexico at various places while myself and friends came and went exploring the deserted islands of the Baja and the Sea of Cortez.
My trips usually are for 2-3 weeks away from the port where the boat is based, exploring all of the areas easily accessible from that port. The boat is now based in Geraldton so we can start exploring the Abrolhos Islands and Shark Bay World Heritage Park.
The boat is a very comfortable motor yacht that can run fast when needed but generally we travel at 6-8 knots/sailing speed, that allows life to simply continue for all on board while we relax and share the necessary duties of cruising or just living in one spot for a few weeks. It is also very economical at this speed. The boat operates comfortably with 2/3 people eventhough it can easily accommodate 8 people in 3 cabins.
I have added/altered many features to suit longer range cruising ( eg 2000 watt solar panels, much larger anchor/ground tackle, 3000watt inverter, larger refrigeration/freezers etc etc )

I’m looking for some sane fun companions as crew and fellow explorers with useful common sense ( know when to play and know when to work). Good attributes include - love the water, agile, aware, self contained, collaborative as part of a team, take responsibilities, appreciate mother nature. You don't have to know too much about boating/sailing. As long as you have the right attitude, I can happily teach you. If I don't know, we'll work it out together !!!........ and you just GOTTA have a sense of humour - Mother Nature will test us out on that one, at times !!!

Time is not our enemy when we’re out there ! el Tiempo no es mi enemigo
